Standup Pouches have become the most widely used pouch format in the flexible packaging industry. The adoption rates for standup pouches have risen because of the steep increase and growth of modern trade in India . Modern trade stores now account for over 10% of the total FMCG market share compared to XXXX where the modern trade store market share was around 4% . 1 more number that I would like to point out is the growth of online e-commerce companies and their fair contribution to the growth of the FMCG industry . Online ecommerce sales of FMCG products now account for 3% of total sales in India . compared to XXXX where the number was merely 0.35% , Most of which came from Big Basket which was then the biggest online grocery company.

Coming to XXXX where every brand has now adopted the model of selling their brand via online vs retail in general or modern trade .Every brand that instapac works with today starts of its first sale using online e commerce platforms like amazon , big basket , jio mart , flipkart and lets not forget shopify. The widespread adoption rates of the internet in India and the acceptance of the idea that a consumer can now buy groceries online has supercharged the industry and the main beneficiary of this hyper growth has been FMCG startups.

Advantages of Standup Pouches

A clean front and Back Panel

Printed standup pouches have a totally clean and flat front and back panel. What this means is that unlike center seal pouches where the front and back panels bulge due to nitrogen flushing . Standup pouches have flat panels that do not cause any hindrance in the design visibility . Moreover, center seal pouches have a strip that runs along the back panel of the pouch because of which the design needs to be split in 2 halves . The result of this split is that the design tends to look cramped and virtually non readable to a customer who pickups up the product and has a second to decide weather to put the product in the basket or kart . Its much easier to design a standup pouch over centre or 3 side seal pouches because of the broad canvas that's available to the designer without any disturbances in the panel .

Reclosable Zipper

1 of the main advantages of standup pouches are that they have an option to add a zipper. About 9 out of 10 orders we process include a zipper in the pouch. The cost addition for adding a zipper ranges from Rs.0.20/- pc for a 100 grams pouch to Rs.0.80/- pc for a 1 kg pouch. Zippers are preferred by a consumer because they then do not have to transfer the contents of the pouch to a separate container after opening the pouch. The pouch itself acts as a container and the reclosable zipper acts as a cap. This eliminates the hassle of purchasing containers , washing them , finding storage space for them and most importantly finding the right 1 in your kitchen shelf.

Tear Notches

1 of the advantages of standup pouches is that they offer tear notches that ensure a clean and easy tearability to open the pouch after its purchased by the consumer. We offer 2 tear notches on top for all our standup pouches as a standard option. Tear notches that we offer can be added on bottom as well for 3 side seal pouches and center seal pouches as well. Instapac is the only company in India that offers center seal pouches with 2 tear notches i.e in the bottom as well as top.

Round Corners

1 of the most unappreciated and ignored feature of any printed pouch are round corners on all enges. Round corners are nothing but right angled corners in a pouch that are trimmed to for a smooth edge somewhat like a semicircle. This really small add on which seems like a negligible feature enhances the overall look of the pouch by a huge quantum. We offer round corners as a standard feature in all of our pouches. We are infact of the the only printed pouch manufacturers that offer round corners with a double semi laminate cut including cut on a spot uv laminate. We can add round corners in 3 side seal pouches , 2 side seal pouches and spout pouches as well. Round corners option is not available in center seal pouches.

Printed Bottom Gusset

Bottom gusset is the bottom part of the pouch that helps the pouch expand and helps retain the contents once filled. Once the contents are filled , the bottom gusset hold majority of the content and its weight increases the center of gravity thus helping it stand. People referred to these pouches as standy pouches when they were introduced because of this feature of the bottom gusset that helps these pouches stand and stay erect on the shelf.

Excellent Barrier Properties

A standup pouch offers excellent barrier properties not because it's multilayered or acts as an aluminum pouch . But because the quad seal we offer in the bottom gusset acts as a multiseal rigid airtight gap barrier. This means the pouch format itself offers an increased shelf life of 18-23% over a conventional pouch format like a center seal , 3 side sealed , 2 side sealed , spout or bar shape pouch. Pouch makers today offer standup pouches without this technology whereas pouchmakers like us offer this feature as a standard option among all out standup pouches and standy pouches.

Summarizing all of this , I hope by now its clear why you as a brand owner would find standup pouches the best pouch format over any other conventional pouch format. But every pouch format has its own advantages and disadvantages. This pouch format does too. I’ll be writing about the disadvantages of standup pouches in my next blog and also an alternative that seems like a better option because it checks out all the disadvantages of a standup pouch in its advantages column.
